Thanks to Rhonda and Rebecca - at least for me it wasn't body enhancement - it was job opportunities. R and R told me what my web-site host also told me. However the web-host people are able to put some sort of filter in place which returns a 'not a valid email address' message to anyone who may send an email to the address containing my web id. I just hurt that it abuses my credibility.

My explanations around the office are never enough, and people "forget" what I've told them only to ask me again "Is someone hacking our server?" I have forwarded this on in the hopes they do not bore me with more questions!
